Panel: The Trouble with Tariffs (a/k/a Is it Time to Open Pandora's Box?) It's generally believed in the U.S. that the existence of personalizable webcasters (e.g., Pandora, Slacker, Last.fm) is good for musicians and labels, yet some elements of the Canadian music industry seem to be discouraging such efforts. Is that perception correct? If so, is it rational behavior? Panelists to include CMRRA-SODRAC (CSI)'s David Basskin and Davis Wright Tremaine's David Oxenford, among others. |
